Dynamics of Hot QCD Matter -- Current Status and Developments

The discovery and characterization of hot and dense QCD matter, known as Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), remains the most international collaborative effort and synergy between theorists and experimentalists in modern nuclear physics to date. The experimentalists around the world not only collect an unprecedented amount of data in heavy-ion collisions, at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in New York, USA, and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland but also analyze these data to unravel the mystery of this new phase of matter that filled a few microseconds old universe, just after the Big Bang. In the meantime, advancements in theoretical works and computing capability extend our wisdom about the hot-dense QCD matter and its dynamics through mathematical equations. The exchange of ideas between experimentalists and theoreticians is crucial for the progress of our knowledge. The motivation of this first conference named "HOT QCD Matter 2022" is to bring the community together to have a discourse on this topic. In this article, there are 36 sections discussing various topics in the field of relativistic heavy-ion collisions and related phenomena that cover a snapshot of the current experimental observations and theoretical progress. This article begins with the theoretical overview of relativistic spin-hydrodynamics in the presence of the external magnetic field, followed by the Lattice QCD results on heavy quarks in QGP, and finally, it ends with an overview of experiment results.Comment: Compilation of the contributions (148 pages) as presented in the `Hot QCD Matter 2022 conference', held from May 12 to 14, 2022, jointly organized by IIT Goa & Goa University, Goa, Indi

Understanding the Working of Vertical Farming towards a Sustainable Community

We human kind  and as I include myself wants to gain maximum output with minimal amount of physical force which we first categorise as luxury and which eventually metamorphose into necessity. Now, to do the rest amount of work we have created a “helping hand” known in general terms as machine. This machine generally is formed out of nature and during its working harms it, the primitive form of it being wheel. With development of technologies these machines became an integral part of our life changing our lifestyle changing our built environment and at most changing our homes, work places and recreational areas. But somehow it did not affect the environment of our food production avenues. Our superstition of building crops through soil on the earth’s surface is leading to a catastrophe. The simple reason being for the exploding population stacked on a piece of land originally meant for few the producing resource as land remains the same. The research which the author intend to proceed for explores the idea of changing the cultivating environment same as our other built form which is “VERTICAL”.  The forth coming paper will be a humble effort to redefine our raw food production system using an artificial environment which would use the sustainable postulates such as gray water usage, net zero building guidelines, etc.
